Underneath the Same Moon

I din't expect much from this when I first started watching it. Sara Ball is far too cutesy almost like a teen. Meg Cashel is too riveting by far as the kooky but lovable sister, and Anderson Davies is far too handsome and clean cut to have any depth. As the film progressed it leaked corny and oozed cheesy and yet the great dialogue and the intense chemistry between Ball and Anderson kept me watching. The score was amazing because it did not overwhelm like most recent films, the story was about the people and what they had to say and not about loud music playing. The direction and editing was excellent so the film played out smoothly and exactly as you'd expect it to, keeping a fast pace but without missing anything out. At the end it actually moved me to tears by the sheer force and excellence of the acting in the final scenes. All in all a beautiful film, beautifully done and left me with a beautiful feeling.

This is a well made "chick-flick" romance drama! It's a plot that may be familiar to some which is welcome. One of the biggest strengths of this film is it's acting which was stellar.

If you can ride out the first 30 minutes, it'll get better. Won't win any Oscars, but the actors show promise.

This movie is heart wrenching but mixes in my kind of silly humor. Not your typical rom com that sticks to a predetermined formula for success but rather breaks the rules and grounds itself in reality. Life (and love) is messy and I appreciate when filmmakers showcase the good, bad and ugly. Watch and enjoy!

I can't blame the film on the main duo; their acting is fair. What is absolutely horrible is the writing! Has this writer ever had a real conversation with a woman because this script makes me doubt it. The male protagonist's sister is such a badly written character she should have been left on the cutting room floor. The woman's acting is not good, but I put the major fault on the writing. I did finish the film because like a bad car crash, you just have to watch. But don't start this film and it will be safer for you.
